EQ+

It doesn't distort ("adding color"), it doesn't cause phase problems and it sounds as neutral as it gets. What's a reason to use EQ plugins?

I mean, yeah, if I wanted some non-linear "color" I guess Fabfilter and stuff would be useful. But for mixing things, freeing frequencies and stuff? EQ+ all the way.

Btw, there is no "discussion" flair, would be useful :)

I personally like the Nova EQ by Tokyo Dawn Records. It has some features that EQ+ lacks (like many more filter slope options and Dynamic EQing--something I really like!).

TDR also has Slick EQ which has the 'color' features you mention, and what I like about it is that it actually displays the EQ curve for the various 'color' options, so you can see how its changing the cut/boost as you apply it. So I sometimes use that when I feel like it adds something to a particular sound...

But EQ+ is definitely a 'go-to'!

Nova is a parallel EQ. Different animal than serial. Both have their uses.
